Today, I just want to congratulate you for making it this far. These words that I type, they are just that. Words. However, I hope that they are landing somewhere in your mind & body. I hope that you have been choosing some quiet time to honor you and really letting these words emanate your soul. What the heck does it even truly mean to honor yourself?

Honoring yourself means recognizing the significance, importance, validity, and sacredness of your own values, thoughts, beliefs, desires, life, and self. There are a plethora of ways to honor yourself, and many of those ways might leave you feeling selfish *especially to the people pleasers that are reading this. Which, let's face it… is many of us.

So, let's talk about the two most important ways that you can honor yourself. Two of the most powerful tools that we all have in our self care tool bag.

Honoring your YES’s and your NO’s. Saying yes to what feels good and no to what doesn't. Sounds super simple and yet really complicated right?

So often our initial clarity about our YES and our NO is clouded by what we think other people will think or out of needing to justify to ourselves or others what we are choosing. So what if you could choose just for you, just for fun, no need for explanation or justification exactly what you want, exactly what is true for you? What would it take to reclaim your YES and your NO? What’s true for you is your truth, it doesn’t depend on anybody else.

Sometimes what can deplete us most, is simply over-committing ourselves or saying yes to the wrong things. Many of us want to help those around us, or are simply really good at many tasks, and we find ourselves saying yes simply because we know we can do it.

It is great to want to help others out, but we also have to check to see whether we are chronically saying yes to other people’s agendas without making much forward movement on our own.

In this episode let’s take a quick look at the top five priorities in your life. This will add a layer of intentionality when you are about to say “yes” or “no” to something. A lot of the time when someone makes a request, we automatically respond with a “yes” and then try to figure out how we can manage it with what is already on our plate.
